The KickAss Corrections Officers of SORT is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.676 billion SORTans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florence. The average income tax rate is 90.5%.

The frighteningly efficient SORTan economy, worth a remarkable 1,045 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,094 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, the SORT Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and financial investors are noting a boom in artillery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SORT's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
